Our latest customised stamp sheet commemorates the 350th Anniversary of
The Royal Society and features some of the famous figures who have
been elected to the office of President of the Royal Society.
The Royal Society of London for the Improvement of Natural Knowledge,
known simply as the Royal Society, is a learned society for science, and
is arguably the oldest such society in existence. Founded in November
1660, it was granted a Royal Charter by King Charles II as the "Royal
Society of London". The Society was initially an extension of the
"Invisible College", with the founders intending it to be a
place of research and discussion. The Society today acts as a scientific
advisor to the British government, receiving a parliamentary grant-in-aid.
The Society acts as the UK's Academy of Sciences, and funds research
fellowships and scientific start-up companies.
The Society is governed by its Council, which is chaired by Society's
President, according to a set of Statutes and Standing Orders. The members
of Council and the President are elected from and by its Fellows, the
basic members of the Society, who are themselves elected by existing
Fellows. There are currently 1,314 Fellows, allowed to use the postnominal
title FRS (Fellow of the Royal Society), with 44 new Fellows appointed
each year. There are also Royal Fellows, Honorary Fellows and Foreign
Fellows, the last of which are allowed to use their postnomial title
ForMemRS (Foreign Member of the Royal Society). The current President is
Lord Rees of Ludlow. Since 1967, the Society has been based at 6–9
Carlton House Terrace, a Grade I listed building in central London that
underwent a substantial renovation between 1999 and November 2003.
